Informative manual - treating adrenal exhaustion (arguably the precursor of thyroid issues for many of us)
The treatments (which vary depending on the stage of the condition - and require good judgement to sort out) mix differing combinations of Seriphos (an adaptogen that temporaily blocks the action of cortisol),
DHEA
, ACE, plus adrenal, immune and nutritional supports.

Help with Armour and high bp please
Cortisol results show low cortisol throughout the day and high
DHEA
, the results came back with a comment stating there is a recent study showing low cortisol and high
DHEA
can be a marker for PTSD which I did have after my daughter was born 16 weeks early (due to untreated underactive thyroid!)

'Foetal Programming - An underlying cause of metabolic disease, thyroid disease, hypertension and the related complex of health problems rep
This quickly led to information on how it partners with
DHEA
via the HPA (hypothalmus [brain]/pituitary [gland in the brain that controls most endocrine functions including adrenals and thyroid T4] axis) to control waking and sleeping cycles.

confused about thyroid and adrenal treatment
OK, I feel totally confused now: I was diagnosed, in January 2012, with adrenal fatigue, hypothyroidism (after being on thyroxine for 10 years), low estrogen, progesterone, testosterone,
DHEA
, pregnenolone, and growth hormone levels.

Adrenal Supplement
The cortisol levels came back within range but the
DHEA
levels all came back low - "out of range" and the diagnosis was "pre-exhaustion or pre-adrenal fatigue".
